Start concrete comparison list against other current implementations #5
Description
I really like the education benefit for the community of this project. I think the project has potential to educate router library and middleware authors to make their own implementation more robust and reach higher-quality implementations.
Thus, I would like to suggest a comparison list being added to the readme that outlines current "imperfections"/differences of other major router library providers.
I think a good start would the https://github.com/pressley/chi router and their https://github.com/pressly/chi/blob/master/middleware/wrap_writer.go middleware responsewriter. It always looked very complete and modern to me with their support for 1.8 and http.CloseNotifier, http.Flusher, http.Hijacker, http.Pusher, and io.ReaderFrom interfaces. But now I got sceptical.
I understand this list has potential for blame-gaming but I believe written in an informative and as-neutral-as-possible style it will actually help router and middleware authors to reach higher-quality implementations.

While writing, I got reminded of a website that has a similar comparison, but i can't figure out its address; something related to https://gomiddlewares.org or https://gohttphandlers.org ... which focused only on generic interface support.

That's a great idea. I was thinking about writing a blog post about this library, and perhaps a comparison with other projects attempting to solve this problem would be interesting.
That being said, I think other middleware implementors would probably benefit from simply using this library as it should already cover all use cases. But if they want to duplicate the effort I won't stop them, but they better get all the details right ;)
